The code sets the expiry value of the timer to a relative value and starts it with hrtimer_start_expires. That's fine, but that only works once. The timer is started in relative mode, so the expiry value gets overwritten with the absolut expiry time (now + expiry). So once the timer expired, a new call to hrtimer_start_expires results in an immidiately expired timer, because the expiry value is already in the past. Use the proper mechanisms to (re)start the timer in the intended way. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Cc: "David S.
